Abstract

Cancer Coping Problems Siblings
Problem reporting rates of 180 persons with cancer (PWC) were compared with those of their closest in age same sex cancer-free siblings living outside their households for the same time periods. PWC had significantly higher reporting rates for physical, activities of daily living, nutrition, and emotional problems and a significantly lower rate for family problems. Sibling problem reporting rates, which indicate the likelihood that PWC would have experienced similar problems without a diagnosis of cancer, were highest for physical, emotional, employment, and family problems suggesting that noncancer factors are especially likely to play a role in those types of problems. Regression analyses showed that female and younger PWCs tended to report more problems than their siblings suggesting that they were more affected by cancer and its treatments than were other types of PWC.
